Granted: 1897-09-04
Abstract: 18,115. Porteous, W. Aug. 3. Moulding.-Relates to moulding-machines. Eleven trucks A travel round a circular track, and carry the flasks b, c with pattern plates between them. At the first station 1 sand is swept out of the annular trough D into a fine sieve E which is shaken by a ratchet-wheel and spring ; the sand drops into the box b and covers the pattern. At the station 2 sand passes through a coarser sieve into the box F ; the hinged bottom of the box is released by an arm Q<1> on the sweep and a latch h<1> ; the sand depresses the bottom and falls into the flask. The bottom of the box is raised by a counterweight. At the station 3 a reciprocating spring plunger K actuated by a crank J' compresses the sand, and the sand projecting above the flask is removed by a scraper G'. A board is placed on the flask at the station 4, and at the station 5 the flasks are clamped to two trunnions i<1>, the portion of the track Q on which the truck stands is lowered and the flasks are inverted, the truck is raised again, and the flasks are released from the clamps. At the stations 6,7, and 8 the flask which is now uppermost is rammed up, and at the stations 9, 10, and 11 the tracks can be depressed. At the station 9 the upper half mould is suspended while the track is bound and withdraws the pattern from it ; an empty flask is put on the pattern in its place, and the truck is wheeled to the station 10, where it is raised and the flasks are clamped to trunnions and turned over. At the station 11 the other half mould is suspended, and the truck and pattern withdrawn from it downwards. A rapping-apparatus actuated by a ratchet on the central driving-shaft beats against the standards carrying the trunnions. The trucks are driven by projections on an intermittently-rotating horizontal disc which is actuated by mutilated bevel gearing. An automatically-actuated spring latch secures the table while the several operations are being performed. The inner posts supporting the trunnions are placed in holes in the table opposite the particular boxes to be turned over and are removed after the operation.

Title: Improved Method of Refining Raw Sugar.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1898-09-20
Granted: 1899-07-15
Abstract: 19,961. Thompson, W. P., [Manoury, H. A. J.]. Sept. 20. Refining sugar.-Relates to processes, for refining sugar, intended for obtaining refined sugar and molasses without the inferior sugars usually produced during a series of crystallization processes. When white sugar is to be refined, the green refinery syrup is boiled until crystals of the required size have been obtained ; the residual syrup is then made up with the rich drainings from a previous boiling, and, after exhaustion by again boiling down, the syrup is again made up with a portion of the poor drainings from the same preceding boiling, so as to reduce as far as possible the quotient of purity of the mother liquor of the massecuite. When brown sugar is being refined, it is boiled down with green refinery syrup to the desired point, and mixed successively with refining- syrup, rich drainings from the preceding boiling, and poor drainings so as to lower the quotient of purity of the mother liquor to the point required. The massecuite finally obtained is machined and yields refined sugar, rich drainings, and poor drainings, which are utilized in later boilings as previously described. A certain amount of the poor drainings remains which is too rich for sale as molasses. A portion of these drainings is treated with baryta or strontia so as to obtain the corresponding saccharate, which is separated, washed, and used in the purification of syrups by pouring it directly into the blow-up or melting pan, and adding sulphurous or phosphoric acid, or one of the sulphates of magnesia, iron, zinc, or the like, to precipitate the baryta or strontia. The rest of the poor drainings is treated with the poor drainings from which the saccharate has been obtained, and the mixture is sold as molasses.

Title: Improvements in Electrical "Damping" Apparatus.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1899-09-19
Granted: 1900-07-14
Abstract: 18,892. Johnson, G. W., [Hartmann & Braun.] Sept. 19. Brake or retarding mechanism.-In an electromagnetic brake, consisting of a conducting-disc C revolving in the fields of stationary magnets M', M<2>, the total retardation is rendered proportional to the velocity of the disc by pivoting one magnet M<2> so that it can turn in opposition to a spring f and thus act at varying distances from the axis A of the disc. The magnetic retardation first increases as the magnet poles move away from the axis. but afterwards diminishes as they approach the edge of the disc ; friction at low speeds and air resistance at high speeds are thus compensated for. The effect may be increased by providing radial tapered slots in the disc, or by making it of varying thickness. The position of the pivoted magnet is indicated by a pointer Z on a scale, graduated to show velocities. The invention is applicable to any eddy-current brake having a conducting body and magnets movable relatively to one another.

Abstract: 10,952. Alley, S. E. June 16. Sliding valves.-Relates to stop valves of the kind described in Specification No. 12,292, A.D. 1896. To prevent the valve discs or gates B, Fig. 1, from being jammed by the wedge D when the valve is being opened, the lower end of the spindle A is formed with a grooved projection or shoulder A', which engages with recesses in the gates. Curved levers C are pivoted inside the groove, and their downwardly - projecting ends strike the top of the wedge and release it when the valve is opened. In a modification, a horizontal cylindrical extension on one gate slides within a similar extension on the other gate, so that chattering is prevented. In the modification shown in Fig. 4. the valve is actuated by means of an externally screwed sleeve F, which has an oppositely-formed internal screw-thread at its lower end with which the spindle A engages. On rotating the spindle, it has a limited downward movement and disengages the wedge D from the gates; the spindle and sleeve then rotate together, and raise the valve. The wedge may be formed with a recess containing a spiral spring d', Fig. 5, which releases the wedge when the valve is opened. Chattering is prevented by having circular rims or projections b<3>, b<4> on the gates arranged so as to slide one within the other. To prevent jamming of the valve spindle, due to expansion, a slotted steel tube is fitted to the top end of the spindle, and works against a shoulder on the spindle.
